Clearing
Site Preparation
Clearing, levelling and preparing land so your build starts on solid ground.
New build construction covers considerably more than laying bricks. Through our contractor network the scope includes foundations and piling, masonry and brickwork and roofing, plus the coordination of every specialist trade that follows. A contractor suited to a single dwelling is rarely the right choice for a multi-unit development, and matching properly matters here more than in most trades.
The value of a main contractor is that one party carries the programme. On a build with a dozen trades the costly delays are almost never the work itself — they are the gaps, where a plasterer arrives before the electrician has finished chasing, or a tiler waits three days for a plumber. A builder running their own sequence absorbs that risk; loose coordination hands it to you as standing time.
Services connections shape the early programme more than most people anticipate. Water, sewer and electrical connections to the municipal network each have their own application, timeline and cost, and they are frequently the constraint that holds up occupation rather than the building itself. In newer developments the connections are usually to the boundary already; on older or unserviced stands they may not be.
We deliberately do not publish new build prices. Rates differ substantially between contractors and between areas — construction in a smaller town frequently costs materially less than in a metro — and stand conditions, foundation design, specification and finish level all move the figure enormously before anyone can quote responsibly. Materials are the contractor's to price, not ours to estimate. Tell us about your stand and what you want built, and we will put you in front of contractors covering your area.
